If there'd be a crawlspace big enough for
a mouse to fit through, it will be no worth
for measured do one pleasure of a dearth
will be a great loss to all concerned more

Findings of a soul well depth is of choice
to best contemplate the resolve pressing
the fleeting passage of time jams healing
trends insurmountable odds, less a voice

Quietude crunches, replace nervousness
and snaps a cranium continued grounds
tethering edges e'er relinquished sounds
of wakes are suitable bite less nerves us

Hope claims honorable desperate needs
results 'wish' that expectation succeeds.

Vijay Pandit Date: 12/25/2023 6:30:00 AM You invoked emotions splendidly, my friend--of hope still rooting through desperation.

I was a student of Sociology and told her of sensitivity approach. Seasons Best, my friend. Aloha, William

Silent One Date: 12/25/2023 3:34:00 AM This is a very creative sonnet Hilo.. you did it really well.. all the best. Login to Reply Hilo Poet Date: 12/25/2023 5:13:00 AM Ah, the first of the three was my choice where my two desperados' hope to win concocted within my drama, but alas, 'twas ill-fated. This one might make 3rd, eh?<--(wonder if this punctual mark is subjectively approving, are we still a democracy, or was a queen resurrected somewhere south of Sandwich?) Thanks for your optimism, Silent One. Aloha, William
